lower light costs = money saved = more funding for suicide hotlines & mental health clinics your point? blinded by nostalgia.

@@cemops8660 LEDs do not achieve lower lighting costs in a clean way. It is a common misconception that LED streetlight fixtures are more efficient than HPS fixtures in converting energy to light. Look at the product brochures for your City's LED streetlights, you will not find one that passes the 125+ lumens/watt mark of HPS lighting. LED streetlights save energy by lighting a smaller area to a lower luminance, a practice justified by the foundationally false claim of blue-wavelength efficiency in night lighting conditions.

Go for it!

@@cliffdespeaux6949 thank you!

Flying drones at night is without a hard to obtain permit.

James Wilson the flying at night waiver is not that hard to obtain. Getting another drone because some jackass is shining a laser into the camera can be costly. I’m sure if someone were messing with something on the guys boat he wouldn’t even so happy. Also this video was in 2016 drone laws were not as defined then.

@@davesnothere. I’m not sure I understand the relevance of your question? In this video a person was shining a laser at the drone, the laser could have damaged the camera sensors. The person operating the laser deliberately pointed it at the drone. If the laser caused any damage then the person with the laser would be liable for damages. Also here is your link ruclips.net/video/NIOh9-RoAaE/видео.html

Well, I have a commercial drone license and I fly commercially, so.......

Cliff DesPeaux Well I'm assuming that you fly ethically and responsibly which I fully support. My issue is more unique, as I have a couple drones that hover near or above my home using microwave weaponry and FLIR imaging....its not something I can ignore, and I don't see any other type of defense at this time.

Woah, that sucks, I'm sorry. What kind of microwave weaponry? That seems highly illegal.

Cliff DesPeaux I too have government drones flying over my house every day and night. They are used for surveillance and electronic harassment. I am being gang stalked. This is an extremely serious crime

Dave Horst Hey Dave I just woke up and went outside. I have several drones hovering over my dad's house. These drones are used for surveillance and electronic harassment. This is quite serious and is killing people. With my video camera you can see electric type waves inside my house. They're all over the place. All you have to do is use your video camera on your phone make sure the light is on your phone and video inside your house at night. I bet you too will see the electronic radiation coming right through your walls and ceiling. They're frickin all over every house I go to no matter where i go they follow. please message me back I'm curious to see what you find.

Dave Wilson Fuck that you might think differently if you had drones with microwave weapons stalking your house nightly.

Well.. now they have tactile lasers capable of taking non military drones down. Should be illegal but they’re 780-900mm wavelength which means it is infrared and can burn the plastic and lens optics. Watch out.

Asshole for one if ur not allowed to point a lazer at and airplane why point it at a drone shitface us drone pilots get the same effect airline pilots get when a idiot on the ground. Like in this video wants to point a lazer in the sky. Now if my drone crashes to the ground or enters airspace with a plane and crashes because of some stupid asshole blinded me with a fuckin lazer while im flying with my fpv VR goggles on is pretty fucked up and can really hurt alot of people go look it up fbi cracking down on people who point lazers in the sky period 👉DONT EVER DO THIS 👈

it could cause the drone pilot to crash and take off your face

@@MontanaMichael I would even answer a person's dumbass question you know cuz people like that are ignorant I'm a drone pilot and people say the damage shit about a drone don't know how to fly a drone don't know shit about a drone but you just swear up and down you're wrong for flying it they're wrong for coming out even looking and judging you for flying it but Montana Michael I totally agree with you you're absolutely right it can either come down hit them in the face or injure somebody on the ground and then if that happens who's going to be the blame the Drone pilot but some asshole interfere with your drone and major drone come down crashing that's just something stupid neighbors I got to go to court cuz the motherfuking made a complaint about my drone says I'm not in the in the Drone laws and I've been harassing them from 200 feet up in the air fall on the every movements get the fuck out of here at the judge is going to laugh at their asses I hate stupid people

Its not a manned aircraft. It would be criminal mischief IF there is any actual pecuniary loss. The drone is fine. If it fell out of the sky due to the laser pointer then you have a case. Just like brake checking someone is totally legal. You are an asshole yes but the police arent going to do shit.

Omg you guys are fucking babies. Drone pilots 🤦🏽‍♂️

true orange is better than LED

No need to hate, but yeah I agree that they're harsher on the eyes than HPS

Fuck you

Spectrum I liked the sodium lights better because I have seeing problems and the LED lights damage my vision

Light Bulbguy No, blue light from LED's does not damage the retina. This is a myth perpetuated by conspiracy theorist imbeciles who have nothing better to do with their days than accuse emerging technologies of being harmful. LED street lights minimise overspill into the driver's eye as they are more directional in nature; directed to the street, not in your face.

they should be banned i agree orange streetlights are better than LED

only time it would damage the retina is if you've been staring directly into LED lights for extended periods of time, and I'd hope not because thats would just make you an idiot, and yes it does do something involving bleaching but it is only reducing your night vision TEMPORARILY, in no way is that damaging other than reducing your ability to see at night. the reason i prefer HPS is because LED is bad on the nightvision. I'd much prefer to go someplace dark after coming off a lit city road and actually be able to SEE where I'm going, and LED is not my prefered choice in this situation

SuperBigEv So much false. Firstly, LED's are reducing night pollution, not adding to it. Secondly, there are already LED street light products by the likes of the top brands, Philips et al. that are designed to reduce glare. Some of these products are in testing and already produce less glare than HPS. Our local council switched to LEDs and I have noticed no extra glare. Due to their directional nature, there's actually less glare, and less overspill into house windows so home owners get a better night's sleep. Despite this, drain lids, potholes, and pedestrians are EASIER to see due to the whiter, more efficient colour temperature and higher colour rendering index. In particular high-vis jackets show up more easily under LED.

+Will Davis Sorry, but I notice more glare when driving at night, especially in damp conditions.

+SuperBigEv I'm with this guy on this one. I know nothing about the science of LED v sodium street lights, but many of the LED street lights I've seen installed recently (and ouncils are crazy for them at the moment, the way everyone was crazy about concrete in the 1960s) just seem so dim and shadowy. Many streets which used to be properly lit up now look only half-lit in a kind of murky white light you'd associate with deserted warehouses. I understand the argument about white light not distorting colour, but see little actual evidence of this. Anyway, don't take my word for it. Just drive along a well lit up high sodium road at night and compare to an LED road, and ask yourself which one offers the better visibility.

The new holophane fixtures installed on I-96 are not bad. But still pretty horrid in the rain and fog. I still miss sodium, but oh well. Thanks for the comment!

Hey man, that was awesome! I can't believe it's been almost 6 years. Keep it up! Cheers to this summer and some more fantastic memories!

randomrazr yeah, but at the same time makes it harder to see people in dark clothing.

agree its better than LED

Hello -- JPEG, with SanDisk memory card (can't remember the speed, sorry).

agree.. the orange HPS makes it hard to see people walking accross the street or animals or cars aor anything.. dont care if the lumens per watt is better.. the white light from mercury vapor is much better, and i prefer mercury vapor over LED because LED has a poor pattern spread even with diffusers and so forth

That's suped.

In case you couldn't listen to the video: The building was unsafe and expensive to maintain. Obviously it's cheaper to demolish it

err you got that backwords..

mmmmm unless you want spot lights or something the LED is not better, the light being directed in one direction is a DOWNSIDE to LED's.. not a positive.. this is why its taken DECADES times over to improve light spread on LED's. Id rather have a HPS barn light for example that spread light all over my property.. than an LED that has a 30 feet diameter spread.... sorry

They can still cause light pollution, by the same effect that the suns light reflects off the moon, the moon is not white by the way, it is grey, much like the pavement of roads or atleast the older roads that have not been repaved which is most, I'll have you know there is HPS fixtures with optics that focus light downward exactly like these LED's you speak of, also you say they're dangerous for their glare? you realize that these things re mounted up high, so realistically there will be side glare no matter what light source it is, therefore that argument is invalid, also they are not the most efficient light source, Low pressure sodium (LPS/SOX) has reach efficiencies of up to 200Lm per watt, which still is higher than any available LED as of yet. and yes humans are evolved to see similar light to sunlight, but you don't need sunlight for traveling on a road, nor do you necessarily need high colour visibility, infact HUMANS DID NOT EVOLVE TO SEE THE SUN AT NIGHT! it is much more beneficial to have dimmer lights at night, to both humans and the environment, i might also add that the lack of color forces you to see certain details better since your eyes /brain are forced to adapt to their loss of ability to see colour information, and currently they do not last longer than ALL other lighting technologies, one technology that has been proven to last a long long time, and by long i mean decades is the mercury vapour lamp, which some have been burning bright for as long as 60 years, LED has not had the time to prove itself like this, therefore you cannot claim they last longer than ALL other lighting technologies

so you just said LPS is 200 lumens per watt. then said that darker at night is better.??? the UK banned SOX lighting as it was deemed unsafe for lighting roads BECAUSE of its HORRIBLE lighting index rating. you can't determine any colours individually and road signs/ road markings will all appear yellow. Your point of 200 lumens per watt is true. But how many of those lumens are useful and being seen? In this case it's not just about how bright it is. It's about how clearly you can see. there are LED lights on my road that have been up for about 13 years. so they definitely last longer than HPS/ metal halide for bulb replacements.

@@cemops8660 exactly... people who love HPS always they talk about is the lumens per watt..... Listen Mercury vapor lights are even better than HPS.... MV is blue/white like LED.. with coated bulbs it allows you to see people and objects and cars much much better than a HPS light.. I have a HPS light on the electrical pole on my property its a 150w light.. puts out supposedly 16,000 lumens. However my single Mercury vapor light at 175 watts only puts out about 8k... but i can see everything much better under the MV light than i can the HPS light. People unfortunatly grew up with HPS lights.. from the 70-2000s.. They dont know what white light from Mercury vapor looked like, even with metal Halides which never took over. Instead everything was orange growing up for people. They dont realize the white LED and white Mercury vapor is better.. That 16000 lumen HPS light I barely can see someone walking across my yard even walking directly under it.. especially in dark clothing.. I bet you over the 40+ years for HPS tens of thousands of pedestrians were killed because of the poor visibility its creates. Sure its a nice orange pleasent glow for sleeping with some light on, or a nice glow for a wall light on a building... But LED for visibility is vastly superior.. they totally went backwords when they replaced mercury vapor lights... The other problem i have though is with LED reliability. Most of the fixtures out there are made in china... chinese knockoffs.. all the dusk to dawn lights i find all have a lot of terrible reviews with the lights going bad after 6-12 months.. its hard to find a reliable LED.. and to replace my 4 mercury vapor lamps.. it would cost $500 for the 4 LED fixtures to replace my mv ones, and this is only for a 70 watt led with 8k lumens like my 175w MV... the energy cost of MV would be $20 a month vs 8$ a month on led, so in 4 years i finally make up my $500.. and then it would take another 4 years to save $500... will those leds be working 4-8 years from now.. i highely doubt it.. I havent met a single LED light in any aplication that doesnt get burned out diodes and so forth and last for years... not one in anything i buy.... But my mercury vapor lamps are 30 years old... lol nearly as old as me.. all i gatta do is replace the bulbs.. as they do get dimmer over time even though they are running..

@@jeepsblackpowderandlights4305 very interesting, thank you. I guess it depends on the quality of the fixture and the times that they are on for. My council did some trials with led lamps in 2008 and they are still on the same road, but these ones come at a premium.
